Behind the Dorms, Tuesday Afternoon
This was going to be Reno's last meeting with the impromptu Fandom reserve corps, and he was looking about as restless as one might expect, pacing back and forth in front of the students assembled like a caged tiger waiting for mealtime.
"Okay, Rookies, I'm gonna get to do this just this once, so you better listen up! Sometimes, you find yourself on the field, on your own, with nothin' but your wits to keep you in one piece. Most of us ain't in the habit of walkin' around Fandom with a weapon in our hands, and when somethin' invades, they like to do so without givin' any warning, yo."
He stretched his arms casually, and then grinned and bent over to pick up a fist-sized stone.
"So what I want you guys to do is to bring up places around the island, like the preserve or the streets in town or the beach, and talk about what kinda strategy you'd have in case of a land invasion, or an air invasion, or an invasion by sea, yo. Hidin' places? Impromptu weapons? Who is there to run to if you're alone somewhere? How you guys plannin' on stayin' alive? Show us how you improvise, guys. It'll help us figure out what to do with you down the road."
He grinned, and then chucked the rock good and hard at a nearby tree, connecting solidly enough to chip away and scatter flying bits of bark.
"And then, Rikku's gonna talk to you all about explosives, yoto. Never underestimate the power of things that go boom when you're drownin' in harpies. Or zombies. Or dinosaurs. I missed the dinosaurs, dammit."

Re: Talk to the Guys
Arthur... actually had heard, yes.
"You have my word I'll ensure that none of them will lose any limbs," he said, graciously, "For the duration of each session, they are under my protection."
For better or for worse.
He warred with the idea of pointing out that he didn't want to get married but would have to for the sake of an heir, but figured that would only enable the man further.
Re: Talk to the Guys
"Heh. That's funny." What? It was! "Good! Because if anything happens to them, I think I'm libel. Or something. I'm a bit fuzzy on my legal obligations here, but... you know."
No, Arthur didn't.
"I'll hafta gut ya if I end up sued. I hate lawyers." Especially blind ones.

Had Deadpool not been in a position of power, he would've asked where his brain was by now. "I'll choose to avoid that fate."
Re: Talk to the Guys
Re: Talk to the Guys
No. No, he did not. No, he was going to choose not to think about it. He considered arguing the point that it wasn't supposed to be fun, but again the enabling thing came up. "I wish you a good day, then," with a bit of a nod. "You are welcome to visit at all times."
Mad, cultural differences, Arthur was starting to have trouble telling with these people.
Re: Talk to the Guys
A beat.
"NATE, GET OUT OF THAT TREE."
"CAH-Baaaaaaaaah!"
And with that, he was already stalking off.
